June 3rd Big SinkJoe Duxbury had very kindly offered to lead a Wet Sink trip on this weekend, but as all attendees on the day had actually done that before, we twisted Joe's arm to divert to Big Sink instead. We found this cave to provide a very interesting and sporty trip, and an enjoyable time was had by all.
